Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
Another of our grandsons is a teenager!
I CASEd this card that my friend Nance did recently.
I used a NBUS balloon die to cut a piece in the background box that had been
covered with glitter film. After die cutting the numbers from some gold foil,
I placed the balloon on an embossed background. Easy peasy and I'm happy to say
that he loved it. (Of course that had nothing to do with what was inside!)
